If you have QUESTIONS, its best to ask on either the FAQs page or better yet, make a post on the Activity section of the website.
How do you use a pack that you downloaded because whenever I download a pack it won’t show up anywhere
There are detailed instructions in this FAQ section here.
How do you upload MP4 file to YouTube
See this FAQ section here.
Hey how do u make a pack cuz I’ve been making a lot of stick figures and I wanna put em in a pack so plz let me know if u want u don’t have to
Hey, you can just submit them separately and just indicate somehow that they should be grouped together in a pack.
Ralph can you do an update where you can add music like ultimate and black Beatles
I don’t even know what an ultimate Beatle or black Beatle is.
Ralph can you do an update where you can add music
Probably not, sorry. If you want to add music I recommend adding that after exporting the finished MP4 with some video-editing app/program.
The reason is because I limit sounds to 256kb in size to not eat up too much memory. Music would be in the megabytes.
There are ways to handle this, but to work it into the app at this point would require too much time and effort to warrant it.
Can you make a video where you teach all the basic movement tutorials like walking punching jumping etc..
Plz show a tutorial on how to change character side like when you made the video oi mi8 when the blue goose change to left to right
This is important please reply. Since I’m using IOS/ IPAD MINI. May I know how to export it to gallery? I don’t have pc and android, so please help teach me tq
Well after you export a GIF or an MP4, it should appear in your Photos app by default. Note that a GIF will appear to not animate, see the FAQ page about that though.
May I know how to add the earthquake effect? Example when a stick figure fall down from above. The screen will be like shacking. Please reply tq
The easiest way would be to use the vcam.
When on the frame you want to “move”, double-tap to enter vcam mode, and move the camera a little. Then in the next frame, move it a little more, etc. This will produce a “shaking” effect.
